whatwhat say what

marty hore's understanding of the backline set-up will, i think, hold him in good stead to come in and immediately play a role

my concern remains around his ball use

You're kidding right.

You don't regard JVR as a quality KPF?

Give me a spell. 

i wish people would make a distinction between 'key' and 'tall'

fritsch is one of the best 'key' forwards in the competition

baggers the new filth

they win the close ones

if he goes, he goes - we'll get something for him and the crom will make him a very highly paid young man

he's not out of contract and he's not a free agent

i'll go the opposite route - i don't think tomlinson should be in our best side and i have more faith in plugger mac as a defender than i do tomlinson

players going down like flies with injury

season has started a month too early

good to watch

I'm not buying this.

I love Petty but the jury is out on the condition of his body.

Has been injured a lot and surely any club would be watching how he goes this season before saying it's a done deal.

if petty goes he's under contract

if crom need him that bad, they're gonna pay up

Selwood still salty. Said Ooze got a flag as an assistant in the COVID year.

didn't they lose in the covid year to the tigs?

this whole 'our fans don't cheer loudly enough' narrative needs to stop

If they play BBB, JVR will have to give Maxy a chop out and i'd prefer he is allowed to just play forward. 

clear that they have far more faith in jvr as relief ruck than they do schache - after half time, it was noticeable vs the bloods that jvr had the shin guard on and schache did not

From the moment that Christian said he  would take no action against Maynard it was all over and from then it just became a show trial .He didn't refer it to the tribunal neither did Keane they did it jointly (when did that ever happen ?)Christian did not change his stance even after the referral .It was akin to a prosecutor stating to the jury  that it could decide the matter but as far as the prosecutor was concerned the accused was innocent . Did they even call a human movements expert to contest the evidence of Maynards expert ? .Some involved had allegiance to Collingwood and were not remotely independent . Im no fan of Keane .She sold us down the drain .

This is why Caro and Jake Niall and other journos say the afl ‘played dead’ at the tribunal

Here's a link to the games in 4k for the first five rounds

https://help.kayosports.com.au/s/article/Which-AFL-games-are-in-4K#one

Looks like 5 games a week

Our games for Round 1 and 2 are in 4k

Not sure what is the criteria for selection as a 4k game but Friday night games seem to be rarely 4k

Strangely Collingwood only has one 4k coverage in the first 5 rounds

as expected it's the fox production games only

c7 don't shoot in 4k

it seems the insight is 'no one has any idea how this is going to work and it's pretty messy'?

She fits the bill - Melbourne uni law grad while being heavily involved with the uni blacks who never practised but worked for kpmg (or equivalent) as a consultant to a club / the afl

I'm in two minds about Gutnick.  He did help us out a lot in the aftermath of the merger episode, but then how much did he cost us in the salary cap breaches he sanctioned?

i was under the impression that when he discovered he did the smart thing - went to afl and tried to mitigate punishment

The trade off is a much softer second half of our season. If we're sustaining a 50/50 win rate to mid-season with all our current negative factors, I suspect we'll be storming into the top four and scaring everyone on the approach to finals.

please, that's not how mfcss works!

if we're mid-table and mid-results mid-year and come storming home the correct mfcss take to run with is 'well, we're only beating up on lesser teams...'

on a scale of 1-100, how absurd is the notion of moving may forward?

Maybe you should write the club a letter? 

best make it a STERN letter to really get the full effect

Sorry, but to my mind that is pretty infantile and I'm surprised any professional media department produced it.  Did they really?  (Of course I take delight in GWS beating the bastards.)

 

no, they employ a third party to produce content

GWS remind me of us in 21. It’s the hunger and belief that we just don’t have.

after round 1, 2021, i thought we were due for a super average year, as we squeaked home by 22 against flagmantle in one of the most lacklustre games at the mcg yr ever likely to see

bit of revisionist history about how much gw$ have changed - they were regular finalists for all but cameron's last season, from 2016 to 2022, missing only in that last year

their side has been consistently close to contention for a long time

their top tier players are still toby greene, kelly, whitfield, coniglio, himmelberg, ward plus some players they've brought on during that cameron era, like daniels, taylor, tom green, etc.

very, very good list

OUT: bowey (inj), laurie, schache
IN: pickett, k brown, b brown

chandler as sub

The only player to play Bowsers role is Salo. We're missing Gus big time already, he could've plugged in either position in the midfield or half back.  

still think we need salem more in midfield than defensively

we'll have to cobble a back 7 together out of may - lever - tomlinson - rivers - howes - mcvee - one other

windsor to be a sheezel across half back?

hore to resume his afl career?

woewodin or pup brown to emulate their dads and kickstart careers as defenders?
